Downtown Lakewood will come alive when Light Up Lakewood 2019 takes place on Saturday, December 7.

Sponsored by First Federal Lakewood and presented by LakewoodAlive, this free, family friendly event shows off the beauty and festivity of our city during the holidays.

The event features a holiday parade, lighting ceremony, winter fireworks, a Holiday Train, The Roundstone Beer Garden, live music, ice carvings, food trucks, hot chocolate, children’s games and much more.

All are invited to stroll through Lakewood’s downtown area and visit local stores and restaurants while taking in the sights and sounds of one of Northeast Ohio’s biggest holiday celebrations.

Light Up Lakewood draws about 20,000 guests each December, as it serves as the major holiday event for the entire region. Guests’ eyes and ears will be embraced by the twinkle of holiday lights, the cheerful sounds of carolers and the warmth exuded by the festive, friendly atmosphere.”It’s always a lot of fun, the kids have fun, and even teenagers are involved,” says Emmaline.
